Description

Eucommia ulmoides, also called hardy rubber tree. Currently it is grown in temperate to subtropical zones of Asia, Europe, and North America. Modern research Eucommia has the functions of removing rubbish in the body, strengthening the metabolism of human cell materials, preventing musculoskeletal aging, balancing human blood pressure, decomposing cholesterol in the body, reducing body fat, restoring vascular elasticity, diuretic and heat-reducing, broad-spectrum antibacterial, exciting the central nervous system, and improving the pharmacological effects of white blood cells.
